The 2022/23 Season is a musical menagerie for the senses. The Ulster Orchestra invites you to Immerse Yourself this season as we celebrate our artists, composers and conductors. This week, Clare Hammond joins us to perform two new works, including Orpheus by Canadian composer Samy Moussa. Montreal-born Moussa, currently based in Germany, wrote the work in 2017.
Come and Play is an opportunity for aspiring amateur musicians of all ages to come and play with Northern Ireland’s only symphony orchestra for a day. Amateur musicians play side-by-side with the Ulster Orchestra musicians, gaining valuable support and encouragement in an afternoon of rehearsals. The day culminates in a showcase concert for family and friends.
This week sees Ben Goldscheider making his debut with Ulster Orchestra in two venues: the Market Place Theatre, Armagh, and Belfast’s Ulster Hall, performing two concerti. Ahead of his performances, the artist kindly agreed to answer a few questions we had for him.
